Vote: The Seattle Magazine 2019 Best Restaurants Readers’ Poll
Cast your votes for the best restaurants, coffee shops, bars and more
Welcome to Seattle magazine’s 2019 best restaurants readers’ poll!
Every year, many hours—and many more calories—are spent calculating the best restaurants of the year in anticipation of our September issue. Our editorial team takes great pride in offering a balanced, carefully considered, authoritative take on our local dining scene. But we also really love to hear the opinions of our readers. After all, food—like any great art form—is ultimately subjective. That’s where your votes come in!
Since we know it’s sometimes hard to think of your favorite place in 56 DIFFEERENT CATEGORIES, we’ve taken some of the guesswork out and given you a list of tried-and-true favorites to start with. These lists aren’t arbitrary: It takes a group of educated eaters and lots of deliberation. But we are human, so let us know when we’ve left out your favorite place by adding it into the write-in space below.
Please share with your friends and followers, vote by May 24 and pick up our best restaurants issue on stands in September!
Please note categories with insufficient votes will not be published.

Best Coffee Shop: Drip Drip Coffeehouse
This women- owned and minority-operated coffee shop gained popularity for its Vietnamese-style coffee and matcha flights.

Drip Drip’s phin-brewed coffee comes in sweet and savory flavors, including banana, salted egg yolk, coconut…
Best Brewery: Stoup Brewing
Like any good craft brewery, Stoup has a little chaos to it. Dogs tuck under tables, kids tear into snacks, food trucks hum in the background, and friends squeeze together at long tables. Husband-and-wife Brad Benson and Lara Zahaba opened the original Ballard brewery with their friend Robyn Schumacher in 2013, amid the neighborhood’s craft-brewery…
Best Bakery: Bakery Nouveau
If one pastry can explain Bakery Nouveau’s appeal, it’s the twice-baked almond croissant, dipped in simple syrup, filled with almond cream, and sent through the oven twice. Co-owner William Leaman, who has more than 35 years of experience in professional baking, was named one of the country’s Top 10 Next Generation Chocolatiers and captained a…
